Manoj,

For open source solution you can try http://www.openantivirus.org/
I'm not sure how mature the software is as i haven't looked at it in a long time.

http://www.linuxsecurity.com has some listings for security resources or
just do a google search on "linux avp"

This is not an anti-virus but, virus prevention and management:
http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html

John Hardin has come up with a great system for sanitizing email through 
Procmail, which your undisclosed version of Sendmail and RedHat are 
probably already set up for.  His Sanitizer is very useful, effective and 
configurable.

There is a user group listed on his site which may be useful when setting 
it all up and clarifying some terms and instructions you may find 
there.  Oh, it's also very easy to setup, although you may want to do some 
things differently then the defaults.

Hope this helps.

Scott.

Does anyone know of an antivirus package for linux that doesn't need any
gui interface to run?  I'm using text only here since my screen reader
likes it that way.  If the screen reader doesn't work on this system
either speakup or emacspeak the computer isn't providing me any useful
output.

This isn't a recommendation, But I believe Sophos makes anti virus software
as well.
They offer two options. You could either have sophos be the man in the
middle which scans emails and then forwards them to the real email server,
or you could use the command line scanner with particular settings to scan
mails after they are queued and before they are sent out.
Like I said, Its just one of the few out there, and I didn't get enough of a
chance to experiment with it to recommend it. By the way, its a commercial
product and not open source.

check out MIMEDefang (www.roaringpenguin.org/mimedefang). You can configure it 
to for anti-virus (using a plethora of different scanners) as well as 
anti-spam. I personally use it along with File::Scan and ClamAV (for 
anti-virus) and SpamAssassin and Razor (for anti-spam). Works awesome. You 
can see stats of what it catches at http://hunley.homeip.net/smtp/spam/

Have you tried Amavis (http://www.amavis.org/) ???
It works as an interface between sendmail (Or another MTA, like postfix) and
antivirus software. I automatically recognizes those one, if they're already
installed. It's better to use the "amavisd-new" version (or amavisd).
